have you ever had a massage before? I get one almost every week and my therapist knows me and backs off a bit before and after marathons…

if you go ahead be sure to plan on resting a bit afterwards and drinking plenty of water to flush out the breakdown products from your muscles… I've run some of my best track workouts the morning after a massage, not sure if it's because of being more limber or because I slept better…I would probably giveit two or three days before a marathon, just to be safe..-Rita
